Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including those with historical significance, unique patterns, and trial strikes. One notable example is the 1861 trial coins produced in Philadelphia, which were experimental pieces often crafted to test new designs or minting techniques. These trial coins, categorized under "Other Varied," lack full production runs and are prized among collectors for their rarity and the insights they offer into the minting process of that era. Their unique characteristics can contribute to a deeper understanding of the coinage history of the United States of America.
